Looks like the small Models (-> DAF 46) of the company “DAF” (Netherlands) from the 60ies and 70ies. Later since 1976 it was bought and produced by Volvo (DAF 77, Volvo 323). A Girlfriend of me owned one.
DAF is also building heavy Trucks – that part is owned today by the US-company “Paccar”.

Here´s a nice picture of a DAF 46 resembling to the design picture of Marc Newson.

The DAF car looks like a Fiat in some ways. Or vice versa.
I remember reading about that Newson-designed Ford. Back when I subscribed to car magazines. Fascinating, but not my cup of tea.
Designing a car (the easy part, especially a concept) and actually producing a car are two separate things – I’m still a skeptic on the whole car thing.
Yes, maybe a little like the Fiat 124, which, by the way, was later licensed build also in Russia under the brand “Lada”.
